Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Verschlussstopfen für Weinflaschen, insbesondere für Rotweinflaschen, mit einem zur Anlage an der Flaschenmündung bestimmten Kopfteil und einem daran angeformten, in den Flaschenhals eingreifenden Schaftteil, wobei Kopf- und Schaftteil aus einem luftundurchlässigen Material bestehen und im Stopfen ein sich durch Kopf- und Schaftteil erstreckender Durchgangskanal vorgesehen und dieser Durchgangskanal mittels eines für Flüssigkeit undurchlässigem und gleichzeitig für Luft in vorgebbarem Ausmaß permeablem Material verschlossen ist.The present invention relates to a sealing stopper for wine bottles, in particular for red wine bottles, with a particular intended to rest on the bottle mouth head part and an integrally formed, engaging in the bottleneck shaft portion, head and shaft portion made of an air-impermeable material and in the plug through a head - And shaft portion extending through passage provided and this passage is closed by means of a liquid impermeable and permeable at the same time for air to a predetermined extent material.

Derartige Verschlussstopfen sind bekannt, wobei die konkrete Ausgestaltung und die Herstellung eines solchen aus Glas gefertigten Stopfens in der WO 2004/043869 A1 beschrieben sind.Such closure plugs are known, wherein the specific embodiment and the production of such a made of glass plug in the WO 2004/043869 A1 are described.

In der Praxis haben sich derartige Glasstopfen bewährt und werden vor allem bei Weißwein- und Rotweinflaschen eingesetzt.In practice, such glass stopper have been proven and are mainly used in white wine and red wine bottles.

Untersuchungen haben gezeigt, dass es bei der Abfüllung von Rotweinen in Flaschen vorteilhaft sein kann, wenn über den jeweiligen Verschlussstopfen kein hermetischer Abschluss des Flascheninhalts von der Umgebungsluft erfolgt, sondern ein minimaler Austausch der in den Flaschen eingeschlossenen Restluft mit der Umgebungsluft erfolgen kann.Investigations have shown that it can be advantageous in the bottling of red wines in bottles, if over the respective plug no hermetic conclusion of the bottle contents of the ambient air takes place, but a minimal exchange of trapped in the bottles residual air can be done with the ambient air.

Ein einen minimalen Luftaustausch ermöglichender Stopfen ist aus der EP 1 990 287 A1 bekannt, wobei dieser bekannte Stopfen insbesondere dann, wenn er aus Glas besteht, schwierig in exakt reproduzierbarer Form zu fertigen ist.A minimum air exchange permitting plug is from the EP 1 990 287 A1 known, this known plug in particular if it is made of glass, it is difficult to produce in an exactly reproducible form.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Verschlussstopfen der eingangs angegebenen Art, d.h. insbesondere einen derartigen Glasstopfen unter Beibehaltung all der diesem Stopfentyp eigenen Vorteile dergestalt auszubilden, dass ein minimaler Luftaustausch ermöglicht wird und dieser Stopfen insbesondere glastechnisch einfach, genau reproduzierbar und mit definierter Permeabilität gefertigt werden kann.The invention is therefore based on the object, a closure plug of the type specified, i. In particular, such a glass stopper while retaining all the advantages inherent in this type of stopper form such that a minimal exchange of air is made possible and this stopper can be made in particular glass technology simple, exactly reproducible and with defined permeability.

Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe im Wesentlichen dadurch, dass der Durchgangskanal von zwei im Wesentlichen gegensinnig konischen Kanalabschnitten gebildet ist, die über eine Engstelle miteinander verbunden sind, und dass der Engstelle benachbart ein permeabler Materialpfropfen durch Klemmung fixiert ist.This object is achieved essentially by the fact that the passageway is formed by two substantially oppositely conical channel sections, which are connected to each other via a constriction, and that the constriction adjacent a permeable material plug is fixed by clamping.

Bevorzugt besteht dabei der Stopfen aus Glas und als permeables Material wird Naturkork, insbesondere hochwertiger Naturkork oder gegebenenfalls Kunststoffkork verwendet.Preferably, the plug consists of glass and as a permeable material natural cork, especially high quality natural cork or optionally plastic cork is used.

Denkbar ist auch ein Sintermaterial, wie z.B. ein Sintermaterial aus Metall oder Glas, welches mit einem Material mit exakt vorbestimmter Permeabilität überzogen ist.Also conceivable is a sintered material, such as e.g. a sintered material of metal or glass, which is coated with a material of exactly predetermined permeability.

Gleich welches Material für den Materialpfropfen verwendet wird, muss sichergestellt sein, dass zwar Luft/ Sauerstoff hindurch diffundieren kann, aber auch über einen längeren Zeitraum keine Flüssigkeit/Wein nach außen gelangt.No matter which material is used for material grafting, it must be ensured that, although air / oxygen can diffuse through, but also over a longer period no liquid / wine comes out.

Der permeable Materialpfropfen besitzt im Vergleich zu einem Vollkorken ein sehr geringes Volumen, aber es kann durch Wahl dieses Volumens, insbesondere durch Vorgabe der Höhe des entsprechenden Materialpfropfens gewährleistet werden, dass ein Permeabilitätswert erreicht wird, der dem eines Vollkorkens aus z.B. Naturkork entspricht. Da die sich im Durchgangskanal ergebende Kontaktfläche zwischen Wein und permeablem Material und auch das Volumen dieses permeablen Materials sehr gering ist und für das permeable Material insbesondere hochwertiger Naturkork oder Kunststoffkork gewählt werden kann, ist die Gefahr einer Qualitätsverschlechterung des Weins durch Korkeffekte praktisch ausgeschlossen.The permeable plug of material has a very low volume compared to a full cork, but by choosing this volume, in particular by setting the height of the corresponding plug of material, it is possible to obtain a permeability value equal to that of a full cork of e.g. Natural cork corresponds. Since the contact surface between wine and permeable material resulting in the passageway and also the volume of this permeable material is very small and can be selected for the permeable material especially high quality natural cork or plastic cork, the risk of deterioration of quality of the wine by Korkeffekte is practically impossible.

Der Durchgangskanal kann bei der Fertigung eines Glasstopfens auf einfache Weise realisiert werden, indem zwei im Wesentlichen konische Kanalabschnitte ausgebildet werden, die über eine durch einen kurzen Aufschmelzvorgang einer dünnen Trennwand entstehende Engstelle miteinander verbunden sind. Bevorzugt besteht der Durchgangskanal aus einem sich vom Kopfteil bis in die Nähe des freien Endes des Schaftteils erstreckenden Hauptabschnitt und einem sich vom freien Ende des Schaftteils bis zum Ende des Hauptabschnitts erstreckenden Restabschnitt mit dazwischen liegender Engstelle, wobei der permeable Materialpfropfen bevorzugt in einem der Engstelle benachbarten, zylindrischen oder annähernd zylindrischen Kanalbereich durch Klemmung fixiert wird. Der Durchmesser des in dem Durchgangskanal fixierten permeablen Materialpfropfens beträgt etwa ein Drittel des Durchmessers und damit rund ein Zehntel des Querschnittes des Schaftteils des Verschlussstopfens bzw. des Innendurchmessers des Flaschenhalses. Dieser Durchmesser kann noch kleiner gewählt werden, da das Ausmaß der Permeabilität des Materialpfropfens insbesondere durch Wahl der Pfropfenhöhe vorgegeben werden kann.The passageway can be easily realized in the manufacture of a glass stopper by two substantially conical channel sections are formed, which are connected to each other via a bottleneck resulting from a short melting of a thin partition wall. Preferably, the passageway consists of a main portion extending from the head portion to near the free end of the shank portion and a remainder portion extending from the free end of the shank portion to the end of the main portion with a constriction therebetween, the permeable plug of material preferably being adjacent to one of the throat , cylindrical or approximately cylindrical channel area is fixed by clamping. The diameter of the permeable material plug fixed in the through-channel is about one third of the diameter and thus about one tenth of the cross-section of the shank part of the sealing plug or of the inner diameter of the bottle neck. This diameter can be chosen even smaller, since the extent of the permeability of the material plug can be specified in particular by selecting the Pfropfenhöhe.

Im Zusammenhang mit einem aus Glas gefertigten Verschlussstopfen dieser Art ist es von Vorteil, dass die Verschlussfunktion des Glasstopfens, die über eine im Querschnitt L-förmige Kunststoffdichtung erzielt wird, durch die erfindungsgemäßen Maßnahmen in keiner Weise beeinträchtigt wird, d.h. die einfache Handhabung dieses Glasstopfens beim Öffnen einer Flasche bleibt ebenso unverändert wie die Möglichkeit des Wiederverschließens der Flasche über einen Einschnappeffekt.In connection with a sealing stopper of this type made of glass, it is advantageous that the closure function of the glass stopper, which is achieved via a plastic seal having an L-shaped cross-section, is in no way impaired by the measures according to the invention; the ease of use of this glass stopper when opening a bottle remains as unchanged as the possibility of reclosing the bottle via a snap effect.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird anhand der Zeichnung erläutert, deren einzige Figur eine schematische, vergrößert dargestellte Axialschnittansicht eines erfindungsgemäßen Verschlussstopfens zeigt.An embodiment of the invention will be explained with reference to the drawing, the single figure shows a schematic, enlarged axial sectional view of a sealing plug according to the invention.

Die Zeichnung zeigt einen Glasstopfen 1, der aus einem Kopfteil 2 und einem Schaftteil 3 besteht, wobei der Schaftteil 3 beim Verschließen einer Flasche in den Flaschenhals eingreift und der Kopfteil 2 über einen aus Kunststoffmaterial bestehenden Dichtring 4 auf dem Flaschenhals abgestützt ist.The drawing shows a glass stopper 1, which consists of a head part 2 and a shaft part 3, wherein the shaft part 3 engages when closing a bottle in the bottle neck and the head part 2 is supported by a plastic material existing sealing ring 4 on the bottle neck.

Dieser Verschlussstopfen 1 aus Glas, der kopfteilseitig mit einer Vertiefung 5 versehen sein kann, weist einen zentralen und axial verlaufende Durchgangskanal auf, der von einem im Wesentlichen konisch verlaufenden Hauptabschnitt 6 und einem kurzen Restabschnitt 8 gebildet wird. Beide Abschnitte können bei der Fertigung des Glasstopfens durch Einsatz entsprechend geformter Stößel problemfrei gebildet werden, wobei die einander gegenüberliegend vorgesehen Stößel so dimensioniert und angeordnet sind, dass zwischen Hauptabschnitt 6 und Restabschnitt 8 bei der Fertigung zunächst eine dünne Glashaut verbleibt, die durch kurze Beaufschlagung mit einer Flamme beseitigt werden kann, so dass dann zwischen den beiden Kanalabschnitten eine offene Engstelle 9 gebildet wird. Bei entsprechend gestaltetem Ende des Hauptabschnittes 6 ist es auch möglich, den Restabschnitt 8 entfallen zu lassen.This closure plug 1 made of glass, which may be provided on the head part side with a recess 5, has a central and axially extending through channel, which is formed by a substantially conical main section 6 and a short residual section 8. Both sections can be formed problem-free in the manufacture of the glass stopper by using correspondingly shaped plunger, wherein the oppositely provided plunger are dimensioned and arranged so that between the main section 6 and remaining section 8 during production initially a thin glass skin remains, by briefly applying a flame can be eliminated, so that then an open bottleneck 9 is formed between the two channel sections. With a correspondingly shaped end of the main section 6, it is also possible to omit the remaining section 8.

Der Hauptabschnitt 6 des Durchgangskanals erstreckt sich vom Kopfteil 2 bis in die Nähe des freien Endes des Schaftteils 3, d.h. weitgehend über die gesamte Höhe des Verschlussstopfens 1, während der Restabschnitt 8 des Kanals von einer kurzen kegeligen Vertiefung gebildet wird, die dem ebenfalls kegelig gestalteten Ende des Hauptabschnitts 6 des Durchgangskanals gegenüberliegt.The main portion 6 of the passageway extends from the head portion 2 to near the free end of the stem portion 3, i. largely over the entire height of the sealing plug 1, while the remaining portion 8 of the channel is formed by a short conical recess, which is opposite to the also conically shaped end of the main portion 6 of the through-channel.

Bevorzugt wird der Endbereich des Hauptabschnitts 8 annähernd zylinderförmig ausgebildet, und in diesem Endabschnitt ist der für die Umgebungsluft vorgebbar permeable Materialpfropfen 7 bevorzugt durch Klemmung dauerhaft fixiert. Im Bereich des kurzen und eine geringe Querschnittsfläche aufweisenden annähernd zylindrischen Endabschnitts 10 ist somit ein Mini-Materialpfropfen 7 dauerhaft positioniert, der flüssigkeitsdicht ist, jedoch durch Wahl des Materials und des Volumens so gestaltet werden kann, dass der gewünschte Austausch zwischen der Restluft im Flascheninnenraum und der Umgebungsluft erfolgen kann.Preferably, the end portion of the main portion 8 is formed approximately cylindrical, and in this end portion of the predeterminable for the ambient air permeable material plug 7 is preferably permanently fixed by clamping. In the region of the short and a small cross-sectional area having approximately cylindrical end portion 10 thus a mini-Materialpfropfen 7 is permanently positioned, which is liquid-tight, but by choosing the material and the volume can be designed so that the desired exchange between the residual air in the bottle interior and the ambient air can take place.

Die Erfindung wurde anhand eines Verschlussstopfens aus Glas erläutert, aber anstelle eines Glasstopfens kann auch ein Stopfen aus anderem luft- und gasdichten Material wie z.B. ein Verschlussstopfen aus Kunststoff verwendet werden.The invention has been explained with reference to a sealing stopper made of glass, but instead of a glass stopper and a plug of other air and gas-tight material such as a sealing plug made of plastic can be used.
